April Foolishness This Saturday

Hey, folks!

Here’s a quick reminder that our next Beer Education Project Tasting will be this Saturday, April 14. We’ll get started promptly at 7pm, and if you get here early, you’re sure to get something of a pre-show beer, as has been tradition from the start.

For this tasting, we’ll continue with the Foolishness of April, with a BLIND TASTING of several light American lagers. These are the ubiquitous ones we see advertised so much. I’ll be tossing in a few “better” beers, and the style of this event will take a different shape from prior tastings we’ve done.

Instead of me walking us through a number of beers, we’ll simply pour the beers and hand them to you. You can sniff and sip and ponder, and decide which brew suits you best. If you’re a lifelong Miller Lite person, you might be surprised that you actually like another beer. Funny what advertising can do. There’s nothing like comparing them blind to find the truth.

As I said a while back, I’m posting the planned beers so you can see if your favorite light lager is on the list. If it’s not, bring it, and we’ll knock two bucks off your entry fee. A couple 12-ounce cans will be plenty. Email me if this is your plan, and I’ll edit this post to include your addition to the line-up (or you can just comment for all to read your intent).

Here’s what I have so far:

Bud

Bud Light

Miller Lite

Milwaukee’s Best Light

Coors Light

Corona

Hub City’s Golden Ale

North Coast’s Blue Star

Zatec

All these samples, plus amazement, for only $8. We hope you can make it out.

Don’t worry; finding out you don’t like your favorite beer might be fun. And eye-opening. There’s a whole other world of beer out there. Fun, games, shenanigans and learning!

When, you ask?
